Thanks guys! Daytona it is :)
They are all my favs so not letting anyone of them go.
The later 6 digit series seems more accurate than the 5 digits. My 5 digits are gaining 3 to 4 secs a day, whereas the gmtc and hulk are still accurate!

I think a vintage Sub or ceramic Daytona would be a great addition to an already awesome collection.

Looks like you really like Rolex, how about a Day Date?

The GMTs are different enough that I think they work well in the same collection. But maybe not the two Explorer IIs. I agree with others that I'd probably trade one of those. As far as next pick-up is concerned, I'd consider a Daytona (116520 or 16520, if you don't want to wait) or a Sea-Dweller (4K or Sd43).

If PM is an option I'd go that route.
Otherwise a DJ41 or SD 126600?

If Rolex only - Daytona or Datejust II (or 41)

Outside of Rolex - how about an AP?

As you say OP it's a Daytona surely for the diversity. Even if it's not a Rolex it should be a chronograph of some description.

Great collection. Here is what I would do to change it up. I would flip the black Exp II or the black GMT and add a 114060. This would give you a Sub Date, Sub no date, GMT, Exp II.

Then, I would add something like a DJII/DJ41. It would give you something a little more dressy. If the funds are there, and you are not into the DJ, I would go for a PM Sky-Dweller. If the PM is too much, go for the new SS Sky-Dweller. You will have to jump on a waiting list, but you have plenty of watches to hold you over.

If another Rolex: Daytona, DSSD, SD43

But maybe branch out to Audemars, Jaeger, Blancpain, etc, that have sporty watches of high quality

Obviously Daytona is getting a lot of votes here, but I'd go for stainless Sky Dweller! Beautiful watches. You obviously are a fan of the 24 hour function, and the Sky Dweller would give you a super dressy option.
